Leap Motion Controller Spawns An Orchestra At Music Hack Day SF 2013

The Leap Motion Controller is a little box that can tell where your hands are. Its creators say it’s “more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen,” and “for the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements.”

The below video, from San Francisco Music Hack Day 2013, shows what happens when some clever people get together to use it to write and perform a song in a single 24-hour period. Not bad, gentlemen. The results are as interesting as they are musical.
